VesterGaard Transfer Delay
Thursday, 12th Jul 2018 15:52

Saints supporters are wondering why Jannik Vestergaard has still not been announced as a Southampton player, her sis the reason why.

Saints had planned to announce Jannik Vestergaard on Wednesday as the latest signing, the player had completed his medical successfully and had agreed terms, but the issues are with Borussia Monchengladbach who are yet to give the final approval although they have agreed a fee with Saints.

Sources in Germany say the issue is solely with the Bundesliga club sorting out the final paperwork and that Saints and the player himself are all happy with the deal.

The transfer is expected to go through imminently and knowing Saints that means about 11pm this evening, so watch this space.

IWOZTHERE added 16:17 - Jul 12 Always a worry when there's a delay like this...(Levy and Alderweireld ?)

1teeminants added 16:43 - Jul 12 Just announced on sky sports about 10 mins ago that medical passed.

Santos added 17:02 - Jul 12 So assuming this happens, we still seem to be strongly linked with Marlon Santos. Santos would make it 6 CB's, surely one too many and someone would have to go.

For those who think signing a new player is just to agree a fee with the club, a salary with the player and then sign on the dotted line (all three copies) ...this is another illustration of all the bureaucracy involved with international clearances.

Fortunately, all the countries involved are EU members (prior to Brexit, that is )...so there
won't be delays over work permits , etc. and it's just a matter of time before the paperwork ends up on someone's desk..or until he returns from holiday.

So let's be patient ....a little longer .

highfield49 added 08:22 - Jul 13 Like IWOZTHERE I have concerns that all seems not to be going to plan with the signing announcement. Media reports saying that Spurs are open to Alderweireld leaving the club might indicate that they have a signing in the pipeline. Let's hope our concerns are unfounded.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
